Offshore Investigation Vehicle
Installation, dimensions variable
Hardcover book, legal documents, credit cards
Exhibited: HKW (Berlin), Aksioma (Ljubljana)
The Offshore Investigation Vehicle was an international corporate structure set up to model corporate financial practices observed in tax havens, and grasp their inner workings. The vehicle consisted of a UK limited company controlled by the artists and 53 shareholders, a Seychelles International Business Company directed by a nominee, and a bank account held in Puerto Rico.
The vehicle's structure and operational scope was explored through lectures, performances and exhibitions, and members of the public could join it by purchasing shares in the UK company, becoming able to propose, discuss and vote on resolutions now documented on the UK registrar of companies. Detailed information on the set up and use of the vehicle is available as a PDF.
